Royal Faction of Kutch

The Royal Faction of Kutch was a conservative political faction in Kutch State that was active from 1836 to 1936. The faction supported the Rao of Kutch's powers (including his complete control over the economy), traditional religious and cultural institutions, and a strong military, and it sought to preserve the status quo. The faction was also reluctantly a client of Britain, as Kutch had been a vassal of Britain since 1819.
